Bypass or change the Start Process Message version 10.4

Version 10 How To Forms

Updated January 13, 2023

asked on January 12, 2023

I have a user task with the initial form. I want to run a Service Task before the form starts up. Instead of a "Message Start Event" I used a "Start Event" and set the assign to the /_initiator. This actually works just fine, I can get the sequence# from the SQL db with a few other parameters.

The issue is that If I run this from the Process Diagram it just starts up. If I run it from the "Start Process" tab I get the following message.

Start Process

The process 'Travel' does not require a form submission and will start immediately. Do you want to start the process now?

If I click Start it works fine but I don't want to see the message at all, it will definetly confuse many of our users. Is there a way get rid of this popup or at least change the message to something like "Click to Continue"

Thanks

I don't think you can bypass that message or alter it.

But here's an idea.

Make a very simple form within your process that just displays a short bit of text to the user about starting the process, and start the process with that as a Message Start Event. You can even make the Submit button display something more helpful. And set it to automatically load the next task if assigned to the same user. Now, they have the short start form, which leads into the workflow, and automatically into your main form.
